Father, get up
Wake up, father! Get up, it is morning
Drink this tea
- Enough - l'm not done yet
You can do it later, let me leave you at Salome chechi's house
Salome'chechi Here take care of my 'wealth'
Return it when l get back from work
Don't worry, she'll be safe here
- Shankara - l'm coming
- Where were you? - l overslept, da
Here hold this
Shankara, l see a big one coming Hold on, okay?
Okay, hold on Now push
Ahoy! Heave ho!
Get in
- Okay, get in - Now take it
- How was the catch? - Not very good
A tea for me Narayana
Everyday there are reports of women harassments
Even small kids Vile rascals!
lt's not like old times, kids shouldn't be allowed to interact with strangers
These are times even relatives can't be trusted
With such atrocities it's the town that gets a bad name
How can he do it to an 8 year old girl?!
Such fellow's should not be spared but killed right away
Are you listening, Shankar'etta?
Get married and get your daughter a companion
Leaving her alone like this is dangerous
This is for you No, that's not allowed
My dear? Thamara?
Salome'chechi Did Thamara come here?
She went back home
She's not there
Where can she be?
Sarama'chechi Did you see my daughter?
She was hanging around here
- What is it, da? - Did you see my daughter?
lsn't she there, playing with those kids?
Thamara!
Come here, my girl
- What is it, father? - You scared me
l didn't see you here That's why l called
- l'll come back soon - Where are you prancing off?.
Even when l'm in the middle of the sea...
l keep thinking of you, not able to work properly
You are alone here
But Salome aunty is with me
She may not always be able to look after you
- Are you scared of the sea? - No
You should not fear the sea
The sea is your mother A mother to all of us
She gives all that we ask for
When you sleep while at sea, you must feel you are...
...on your mother's lap and not be scared
- Will you get scared? - No, father
You are truly my daughter
Unnikanda, there's one more coming with us today
Who else is coming?
Not anyone new lt's our Thamara
Thakathunithai! (My goodness!)
How crazy can you get?!
lf you take her out to the deep sea she'll be sick and suffer terribly
Nothing will happen, she will sit in the kitchen and cook for us
lsn't that right, my dear?
Don't ask for trouble, Shankara'etta Let her stay on the shore
What danger? lt's worse on land than on sea
lf l leave her alone and go l won't have peace of m ind
My daughter should always be with me Whether it's on the shore or sea
lf it's not a problem to them why should we bothered?
Thakathunithai!
Then add this new member into the boat auspiciously
Here we go! Hold on and in you go!
Hey!
Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away Don't hover over and rain, just run away
Aren't you the pearl, mother sea found to nurture
When she turns tumultuous, won't my little pearl cry
Just go away, oh west wind clouds
Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away
Which song shall l sing for you So my dear one can sleep
Which boat shall l row To reach another shore
Grow like the rainbow, be the darling of this town
Even if you reach heights look further beyond the skies
Rock and sway in the boat my girl, rock a bye baby
Without you the festival of harvest has no meaning
Nor anything else in life, my little garden of flowers
Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away Don't hover over and rain, just run away
Aren't you the pearl, mother sea found to nurture
When she turns tumultuous, won't my little pearl cry
Just go away, oh west wind clouds
Oh dark rain bearing winds, go away
Did you hear? Lasser's boat sank
Did you hear? Lasser's boat sank
The rescue boats saved everyone but couldn't find Shankaran'ettan
My dear, don't go!
Father!
7 years later
- Praise be to the Lord - Amen
My leg is not healing, Father
Did you drink the herbal medicine l gave?
That was over long back Now l'm unable to walk, Father
Did you do the heat therapy l asked you to?
l did, Father
You'd have gone wrong with the medicine intake
No, Father
- Your leg ache persists, eh? - l am not able to walk at all
So walking is your problem , right? But l see you can run along with me
So hereafter, don't walk, run
Some people refuse to admit they have recovered
Maybe it's because they get free treatment
Lord Muruga Lord Ayyappa
l pray that my wife and son continue to be healthy enough to work
- Kanakamma? - Yes?
When the rice broth is ready, just give me a call
Anybody would think you were ready to set out for work
The shower has tired me!
Don't get up, continue reading
- Are you studying well? - Yes, father
You must! Mohan couldn't get admission to 'Teacher training course'
He wants you at least to become a teacher
He will otherwise curse me to death He already says l ruined his future
lsn't he obviously right?
He wanted to become a teacher in the local school here
Didn't he stop studies and go to sea because of you?
Thakathunithai!
You talk as if l deliberately fell off the boat and became bed ridden
Just because you met with an accident...
...does it mean you have to remain jobless for ever?
lt's only because my son and l toil we were able to get our daughter married
Unnikandan is quite alright now Why can't you go find work?
Oh Father! Only God knows the effort l take to even walk
l have a bad catch in my back
lt started when l asked him to come help me sell fish
Each day he has a different kind of catch
Catch in the back Catch in the leg
But refuses to catch fish
What is this, Kandan?
Kandan, don't go in for heavy work
Nothing doing
Either work hard or not work at all
- Then go do some hard work - l need to be healthy, right, father?.
ln short you don't want to work
When you say Kandan in Malayam it means Tom cat
Look at that scholar!
Studying in 1 0th and started to call her dad as cat (Kandan)
Not just an ordinary cat
A cunning cat who dislikes work
Wasn't he taking tuition? why is he running back home?
- Father! lt has come - Didn't l say it was an inrush (fish)
- lt has come in the news paper - What! lnflux in the newspaper?
Didn't l tell you about an interview with Thamara?
lt's been published, look
A red lotus (Chenthamara) in the sea
Hey its true, Mohan, why didn't you also pose with her for the photo?
Am l the girl fishing in the sea?
She is very smart There can't be another girl like her
This girl who lives battling life and the sea
...is a role model for all women in the world
Let us honor her We'll make it a celebration
Chenthamara, who grew up learning the ways of sea with her father...
...went on with life, even after he died
...and continued fishing, like her father had taught her
With support from loving neighbors and friends...
...she grew up as a true daughter of the sea
Oh, here comes the drama artiste!
- So l'll see you on the 13th in Tripunitura - Okay, l'll be there
Sister!
Appacha, don't forget to get me the dried prawns
Okay, but you must pay cash, no credit like last time
l buy this from outside folks
- Of course l'll pay you - Well, if you say so!
See Tamara's interview has been published
Oh! That's superb
All our names are there
They have particularly mentioned drama artiste AlleppeyAppachan
Really?
My son Sarangan's name should not have been published
- Why? - He'll become more arrogant
Why should it when he doesn't spare Rs 1 0 for his father?
You are in top form in the morning itself?.
- How many did you have today? - Two
- Two? - Okay, 3
- Three? - Okay fine, 4
- Ah, tell me the truth - So where is Tamara, da?
Out at sea
When she gets back there's to be a huge celebration, planned by Father Michael
There she comes!
As soon as l garland her the band has to start playing
Band players, as soon as Father garlands her, the band has to start
Heave ho! Heave ho!
Why is everyone gathered here?
Has Fr Michael got married to Veroni aunty?
Father, why are all of you here? l don't understand
You are the pride of our land today
The hard working famous girl from our shore
Look at this!
- What is it? - Here hold this
- Ah! - Superb, l say!
This was arranged by Fr Michael to honor you as you came in from the sea
